One in 133 people have celiac disease. The autoimmune digestive disorder damages part of the small intestine, making it impossible for the body to absorb certain nutrients. When someone with celiac disease eats gluten, the body is essentially attacking itself.

In honor of Celiac Awareness Month in May, we’re giving away four gluten-free cookbooks, so you can make delicious meals at home without worrying about whether or not the recipe is gluten-free. Whip up a delicious French pastry from Blackbird Bakery Gluten-Free 75 Recipes for Irresistible Desserts, or make Almond Encrusted Tilapia With Cilantro Rice from Fresh from Elizabeth’s Kitchen for the whole family. Quick-Fix Gluten Free features more than 100 fast and easy recipes like Kickin’ Paella or Gnocchi with Roasted Garlic Butter and Parmesan Cheese. Pizza and pancakes are possible on a gluten-and-dairy-free diet, all you need is The Dairy-Free & Gluten-Free Kitchen.

We’re giving away one pack of four gluten-free cookbooks to one lucky, randomly selected commenter. You must include your email address in the “Email” field when submitting your comment so we can communicate with you if you’re a winner.
